    this may be the wrong place to put this, but oh well.

    Get help with your homework!
    There are people on here of all ages, and talents, so it is very likely that whatever your homework, there is someone who knows what it means.

    homework help of all kinds can be thrown in here
    -what the fuck does this question mean
    -can someone proofread this
    and literally anything else

    (I probably cant actually help other people with homework cause you are all older than me, but yeah. I felt with all the college/university students on here that it would be helpful)

    Oh! also resources are welcome
    if for example you have found a really cool trick to help write notes, share it!
    Surely there's someone who could find it useful
    also links and things, at some point im gonna compile all the sites I researched from in my space project, even though thats probably useful to hardly anyone.
    good complicated calculator things, good explanations of concepts, whatever
    feel free

    Translation- anti-jew measure/law | Right involved/touched on | Impact on the life of the victims

    Erica occasionally vaguely like a person

    I read it as being a 'why was this wrong?' type of thing or like.... yeah, just, how did it affect them? What did this law mean in practice? Like judging by the size of the columns here you're not expected to make a deep analysis
    sorry i don't really know either

    Looks like a good idea! :D

    I think it would be something like:
    Exclusion from public life | 2 | Treated like second-class citizens, segregated from non-Jews, couldn't get jobs that paid well, couldn't participate in politics, etc.

    I don't think you need more than one or two effects for each, but I think that's what they're looking for. Just "what bad things happened to the victims because of this law".

    blehhhhhhh
    i have been attempting to write these last two sentences of homework for over an hour
    i have to write how certain things the nazi did/rule-law-things affected the jews
    the two (out of eight total) that im stuck on are

    creation of the list of jews
    and
    deportation to the death camps

    aaargh i know what they did but i cant write them aaaaaaaaaargh

    eta:
    and then I have to get someone to check all these answers because i am really worried that i fucked this up

    bleh
    also i will not ask family because mom is in an atrociously bad mood, and everyone else.. no. I also dont want to trouble them emotionally because the holocaust is a heavy thing and just because i dont get too emotionally troubled by it doesnt mean they wont

    It's okay! This happens. /hugs.

    Do you wanna try to talk about what the list of jews and the deportations did, or do you want me to try to put it into words?

    You are doing fine, and I'll be up for probably two hours if you want me to check it over.

    i managed to get one in words thanks to the skype chat

    the creation of the list of jews affected the jews because:
    "it invalidated the rest of their identity and made them an easier target for discrimination"

    as for the death camps one i still dont have a sentence
    it just so painfully obvious
    how would anyone ever ask that question?
     
  11. albedo

    albedo metasperg

    Awesome. Yeah, that sounds good.

    Yes, it's painfully obvious; it's one of those worksheet things. They would never ask outright "what bad things happened to Jews, when they were murdered"? But on a list of "bad things that happened", they can't leave out the WORST thing, so they just threw it in even though it's a silly question. XP

    "They were killed and forced to work in inhumane conditions"?

    (You are not alone on knowing the answer but being unable to make words work. I have spent so many hours in that boat.)

    that works!

    I'll french translate it, stick it on my paper, and then...english translate/transcribe to here?
    unless you know french?
    then i'd just take a photo of the paper and stick it up here, and link to the doc with the rights list

    I can probably manage French well enough for this. o/ I know Latin, that's usually close enough.

    @albedo
    and you arent grammar checking, it doesnt really matter in stuff other than french class specific assignemnts
    okay hold on
     
  15. albedo

    albedo metasperg

    Yeah, detailed grammar-checking in French is beyond my level of fluency, but it didn't sound like that was what you needed here. o/

    the big one with my answers^

    Translating on the fly, so let me know if I read anything crazy-wrong...

    Exclusion from public life - they couldn't do what non-Jews could
    Creation of the list of Jews - it invalidated the rest of their identity and made them an easier target for discrimination
    Physical separation and exclusion - they were put in ghettos
    Deportation to the labor camps - they were taken from their homes and sent to the camps where they were treated like slaves and killed
    Identification and isolation - it invalidated the rest of their identity and person, and their sense that they were part of the rest of the community
    Imposition of the Nuremberg Laws - it removed their rights as citizens and made them second-class people
    Deportation to the death camps - they were killed and forced to work in inhumane conditions
    Sterilization and deportation of Jewish and mixed-race couples - treated the Jews like animals, and removed Jews from their families if they were not also Jewish

    Looks good to me! I might add to "physical separation and exclusion" that the conditions in the ghettos were terrible, but otherwise I think it's quite clear. o/

    my translations would be
    deportation to work camps- they were taken from their houses and sent to camps where they were forced to work like slaves until they died
    identification and isolation- it invalidated the restt of their identity and person, and removed their sense of community completely
    sterilization and deportation of jews and mixed jew+nonjew couples- they treated the jews like animals or they took the jew and the rest of their family, regardless of if they were also jewish ("took" meaning sent to camps)

    other than that your translation were pretty accurate, im glad they made sense
    and yeah i think i will add something about the awful conditions in the ghettos
